What Is A Real Quarterback Guru?

Many football coaches may claim to be a “quarterback guru,” but actually very few have the knowledge, experience, accolades or effective teaching style to be regarded as gurus.

A guru is a true master – a top-rated and renowned coach who possesses a deep understanding of the quarterback position. This type of coach knows the ins and outs of the position, what’s required of players and, most importantly, how to help those players significantly improve their ability.

Knowing what makes a great quarterback is only one aspect. To be a guru, a coach must be exceptionally skilled at transferring his own knowledge to the players he’s instructing. In other words: a guru’s success can’t be measured merely by his own abilities, but instead by the success of his students.

Why Work With A Quarterback Guru?

Getting help from a quarterback guru has numerous benefits – especially for QBs who want to win more games and do everything they can to set themselves up for a future career in the NFL or in college.

Even young QBs who are just preparing for high school can experience a significant boost in their skill level.

If you have an aspiring player who wants to learn from the best, here are some reasons to get help from a professional coach.

➨ Lacking high school programsAs mentioned above, most players simply won’t receive the individualized quarterback training they need while in high school or youth football programs. If a player wants to master the QB position, he’ll need to get that level of instruction somewhere else.

➨ Proper mechanics
Succeeding in the QB position is all about having the right mechanics – footwork, defensive maneuvers, passing, rushing and more. The way a quarterback moves his body plays a central role in how he performs during each and every play. A quarterback guru will help a player master these movements and develop a better sense of timing.

➨ Focused drills
Quarterbacks must devote a sizable portion of practice time to drills that are focused exclusively on the QB role. Simply practicing the team plays isn’t enough. A QB guru uses effective drills and workouts that are proven to help build strength, build endurance, increase accuracy, improve timing and develop the right mechanics.

➨ Chemistry with receivers & the team
You could be the best quarterback in the country, but if you don’t have chemistry with your team or your receivers, then you’ll never achieve greatness. The best coaches can teach players to become better leaders and communicators on and off the field, so that everyone wins.

➨ Future potential
The nation’s most talented QB prospects need to set the right expectations about the recruitment process and all the pressure they may experience from coaches, family, scouts and the media. A top quarterback coach helps players understand this process and teaches them how to act professionally in every situation, despite all the scrutiny.
